OOP isn't driving on a highway. This is Indian city traffic they're talking about.

because of an unpredictable situation.

Which driving in city traffic usually is, I would think

You could make an algorithm for 99% of the interactions that happen

Absolutely. But you still have to be actively paying attention to watch for the 1% that isn't predictable. It's like flying a plane; autopilot systems are theoretically advanced enough to complete an entire flight all by themselves, but the pilot at the controls is still expected to be fully alert and active at all times.

a car is a chair because you sit in it.

Which is also objectively correct. Automobiles (with seats) are just extremely complex self-propelled chairs. Fighter jets are very fast self-propelled chairs that can shoot missiles.

Fairly reliable. It's not exact (no step counter is) and a dedicated fitness device like a Garmin smartwatch will likely be more accurate, but this is more than good enough for a fairly solid idea of how many steps (within the nearest hundred) you're getting a day

To be fair those are just buses with lofty ideals

The entire thing is satire. They're very anti-car.

Objectifying them as caregivers is bad.

Correct. And yet literally the first line of argument employed on people who don't want to have kids is "who will care for you when you're old and frail?", as if kids are some sort of investment you can cash in on after you've retired

I think you might've wanted to comment on a different post? (Also fuck Meta and fuck genAI)

You're more than welcome to contribute original content and I'm more than happy to engage with it in good faith.

But that’s not the post. “Alone” is not opposed to “cared for by his kid” but to “visited by his kid”.

It is, though. A lot of people (especially where the OOP and I come from) expect that their kids will either care for them directly in old age by moving them into their house, or fully pay for their professional care, or help pay for their care at the very least. Even "coming for visits" doesn't really qualify as the opposite of alone.

They were.

Porter said the aircraft returned to the terminal, where the passengers (as in the kid and the accompanying parent) were asked to leave the plane and their baggage was removed. The airline said the additional time required to complete those steps and refile the flight plan meant the flight could not depart before Victoria International Airport’s (YYJ) runway closed at 12:30 a.m. As a result, the flight was cancelled.

Considering a lot of the NYPD straight up said they'd resign if he became mayor, I think he's got a pretty good chance of bringing change if he really wants to

That's mostly my doing. I live here, and I have to bear witness to my people becoming more and more carbrained by the day as the government bends over backwards to cater to corporations and rich people with fancy cars at the expense of the gigantic majority who rely on public transit, bicycles, or just walking to get to where they need to go. I hate it.

Or are we going by skin colour?

Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal "by mistake", I think that's right on the money

They're already blaming black people for it because the perpetrator happened to be black

Then don't be that guy. You're quoting a Zionist source that is desperately trying to redefine Zionism in real time. Zionism is colonizing Palestinian land and building that joke of a country on top of it. Zionism is a colonization project.

(And no, all Jews are not Zionists, but the Zionists are very happy to try and conflate the two as much as possible.)

The Israelis are in line for that one currently.

We might as well take him at face value and take an ax to the thing he's warning us about (that he created). Just because.
